From the book:

Abraham Lincoln, in his Inaugural Address:" I have no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no in- ciliation to do so."

George Lunt's "Origin of the Late War," p. 432:
"A war simply for the abolition of slavery would not have enlisted a dozen regiments at the North."

Unanswerable arguments will be found in the facts that a slaveholder, General U. S. Grant, was placed in command of the Union Army, and General Robert E. Lee who had freed his slaves put in command of the Confederate forces. Two hundred thousand slaveholders only were in the Southern Army while three hundred and fifteen thousand slaveholders were in the Northern Army.
General Grant (Democratic Speaker's Handbook, p. 33), said:
"Should I become convinced that the object of the Government is to execute the wishes of the abolitionists, I pledge you my honor as a man and a soldier I would re- sign my commission and carry my sword to the other side."

Simon Cameron, Lincoln's Secretary of War, wrote to General Butler in New Orleans:
"President Lincoln desires the right to hold slaves to be fully recognized. The war is prosecuted for the Union hence no question concerning slavery will arise."

After the Civil War, the US virtue signaled that they "fought against the South to free the poor slaves" when in fact it was just to secure their resources using starvation, pillaging, rape, and multiple war crimes. (Read "The Immortal Six Hundred" by John Murray) Miss Rutherford saw this first hand as a child, and wrote a small library of books on the Invasion of 61', and it's absence of Constitutionality.

A short read, but definitely more informative than anything by Pearson or any other Federally- funded textbook.

Part of the United Daughters of the Confederacy propaganda efforts to "re-educate" people about the causes of the Civil War. For more information, check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOkFXPblLpU
